Calibration tools for the food industry

The Food Industry is an area in which 3D printing can assist
in the development process. In terms of getting produce
from one side of the factory to the other, most food
processing factories use conveyor belts.

Through our various materials such as plastic, resin,
and our multicolor material you can 3D print
calibration tools (3D printed items which
have the same weight and size as an average apple or
potato) for processed foods. This will allow you to
move the faux produce along the conveyor belt to calibrate
for speed or other criteria. This will prevent you
from damaging your inventory of fresh ingredients in
the testing process. Thanks to the strength of plastic
and resin you can use your
calibration tools for various tests without
using fresh foods.

3D printing of food replicas is a valuable asset in
terms of calibrating your food processing machinery.
If you produce food, you can 3D print plastic fruits
and/or vegetables (and other types of food) several
times to test your equipment without having to deal
with damaging your real fruits and vegetables. Getting
food prepared has never been so easy!

Equipment for the food industry

The benefits of 3D printing are numerous. For instance,
you can now 3D print complex designs that are essential
for machinery in the food industry. Thanks to 3D printing,
you can create complex 3D printed food instruments
that are essential for the proper operation of machinery
for food production.

3D printing will allow you to create complex mechanical
parts that are required to be strong and durable. You
can create equipment for the food industry and get
products with complex geometry at low cost.

Creating an item using 3D printing technology is more
cost-effective because it doesn’t matter how complex
the design is, the cost is based on how much material
is used. You are able to create highly detailed 3D
prints that you can use to make molds for different
types of food like chocolates, hard candy, ice cream,
or cakes. Thus, the impact of 3D printing in the
food supply chain can be quite important.

Optimize your current food production processes now!

Prototyping for tooling in the food industry

With 3D printing, you can create an infinite number of
life-size parts in order to find the right one for
a low price.

Thanks to 3D printing you can create ornamental prototypes,
starting from construction drawings, as well as mechanical
parts, and you can do all of this to learn what improvements
can be achieved, and quickly receive your final product.
It will help you build the best consumer product and
food item, thanks to an optimized product design process.

3D printing allows you to create many parts in the
research and development phase to validate the mechanical
concepts, as well as the design and layout of your
product. In just a few clicks you can create a customized
print and receive it in your hands before you know
it. This will truly help you build the future of food
innovations.

The 4 Sculpteo benefits that make a real difference for
the food industry

High Definition 3D Printing

We're working with a range of full-color or monochromatic
high-grade 3D printers that offer excellent accuracy
(layer thickness from 25 to 150 microns), and we provide
you with optimal product quality. Food safety is also
certified for several of our 3D printing materials.

Optimizing your food manufacturing process has never
been so easy!

For everyone

There's no minimum order, we 3D print your model starting
at 1 copy. If you are not in a hurry, we can offer
you a cheaper price for your food technology projects.

Customized service

We can prepare your 3D file on-request and take charge
of the finishing steps (painting, display case...).

They 3D print with us

Artisans, creators, industries? … they picked 3D printing online.

Sculpteo and his 3D printing service allowed me to create prototypes
to validate mechanical concepts for my project.

Founder of La Bougie de Saint-Tropez

Thanks for the
beautiful models that you [Sculpteo] have produced
for us, we will order from you again.

Blendbow, your cocktail made easy

Have you ever waited 20 minutes to get a tasteless cocktail?
Well, Barmate the cocktail machine developed by BlendBow,
partners with bartenders to overcome this unpleasant
customer experience. After 3 years of conceptualization
and prototyping with 3D printing technology provided
by Sculpteo, Barmate is finally ready for public use.
Keep reading as we tell you more about this out-of-ordinary
project.

Philippe Vogelweid's candles

What is the relation between Sculpteo and Saint-Tropez?
A candle! But not any candle… An artisanal candle reproduction
of the famous Saint-Tropez bell tower! Entrepreneur,
Philippe Vogelweid, got the idea of producing the product.
His ambitious goal is to make his candle the official
specialty of Saint-Tropez and his business could start
thanks to Sculpteo and the advantages of 3D printing
technology.

You design in 3D

In order to 3D Print, you need to send us a 3D file that
you can easily design with a 3D modeling software (or
CAD Software). For beginners, we suggest a list of
free 3D CAD software and
offer free tutorials.

You upload it

30+ 3D file formats are accepted on sculpteo.com, such as stl files! You
just need to upload and we'll give a feedback and a
quote for your custom part in seconds. We also provide
optimization tools to help you to get your scale model at the best price.
No need to be a specialized engineering expert!

You receive it

We deliver your order at the place of your choice so you
can make unique food and beverage models! Items are
usually shipped 48h after your order. Looking for some
advice on finishing? Have a look at our tutorials
about painting and finishing.
